Lucy Callahanˊs life was changed forever when she was struck by lightning. She doesnˊt remember it, but the zap gave her genius-level math skills, and sheˊs been homeschooled ever since. Now, at 12 years old, sheˊs technically ready for college. She just has to pass 1 more test--middle school!
Lucyˊs grandma insists: Go to middle school for 1 year. Make 1 friend. Join 1 activity. And read 1 book (thatˊs not a math textbook!). Lucyˊs not sure what a girl who does calculus homework for fun can possibly learn in 7th grade. She has everything she needs at home, where nobody can make fun of her rigid routines or her superpowered brain. The equation of Lucyˊs life has already been solved. Unless thereˊs been a miscalculation?
A celebration of friendship, Stacy McAnultyˊs smart and thoughtful middle-grade debut reminds us all to get out of our comfort zones and embrace what makes us different.
